Nederburg Heritage Heroes The Anchor Man Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2021

COLOUR Brilliant with a bright golden hue. BOUQUET Reminiscent of white peaches, floral and citrus notes, together with hints of spice and well-integrated oak. PALATE Full-bodied with layers of fruit on the palate, a fantastic balance between slight sweetness and acidity and a pleasant long finish.

This fresh, fruity and well-balanced wine is made from Chenin blanc fruit sourced from Swartland and Agter-Paarl vines, 38 and 36 years old respectively. These heritage vines are certified by South Africa’s esteemed Old Vine Project (OVP).

This expressive wine consists of three differently vinified components. One portion of fruit was fermented in first-, second- and third-fill 300-litre and 500-litre barrels. A second component was fermented in stainless-steel tanks, while a third was fermented in amphorae (clay pots). After fermentation, the various components were kept on the lees for nine months prior to final blending and bottling.
